Check out the 'Dust' channel on YouTube. It curates (mostly) short indy sci-fi films. Some of which are excellent.

Also... The love, death and robots series on Netflix has some good space based shorts.

Approaching the Unknown.
Mark Strong in a not too bad copy of The Martian.

[FourWheelDrift]

Saturn 3.
Solaris (original film),
Serenity.

Really they are not all films beginning with S because Space starts with S.

Galaxy Quest (See, not S)
Spaceballs (damn)

Galaxy Quest

Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary is very very good, filmed after Alan Rickman passed away

[Panamax]

You need the original Total Recall (Schwarzeneger).

Maybe we should have a 'films with sausage in the title' thread.

I'd argue that a film set on a planet or a moon is not actually set "in outer space".

I like the idea of a film called "Interstella". Alcohol has indeed been found in interstellar dust clouds.

Darkstar 1974

"Bomb#20: In the beginning, there was darkness. And the darkness was without form, and void.
Boiler: What the hell is he talking about?
Bomb#20: And in addition to the darkness there was also me. And I moved upon the face of the darkness. And I saw that I was alone. Let there be light."

I liked it. There's also Sunshine by Danny Boyle and Ad Astra with Brad Pitt.
I too like the odd space film

I kind of agree. However things like Moon and The Martian have enough space suits, habitats, rovers etc to keep it relevant. Total Recall although partiallty set on Mars isn't really a space film. Likewise Deep Impact only has a small element of space, the rest if set on earth.

I have seen Sunshine doesn't it get a bit weird, almost dipping into horror at the end

Ad Astra I am going to order, if I find a few more films I can go for the 4 for £8 deal

Battlestar Galactica (2004 series)

go and watch it right now, in my opinion the second best ever sci-fi series after TNG

That's right, it does. Almost the same vein as Event Horizon.
Last one from me; Life. Ryan Reynolds.
